Rebirth 1999: Opening up the era of black technology

The two of them walked under the scorching sun. Chen Xiao couldn't bear it and went to the grocery store to buy a parasol, which made it feel better.

Shen Wei was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chen Xiao to be very thoughtful.

"The notice from Yenching University should have arrived." Chen Xiao took a sip of soda and said, "Hold on."

Shen Wei nodded and said: "I just got the notice yesterday, majoring in international economics and trade."

"Congratulations, you are so professional, I will join a multinational company in the future!" Chen Xiao held up the Arctic Ocean, "Cheers, congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Shen Wei also raised her glass.

Collision, bottleneck collision.

Along the way, Shen Wei talked about her experiences in her grandmother's hometown, and the two strolled to an Internet cafe where Chen Xiao often went.

After the summer vacation, Chen Xiao rarely surfs the Internet in black Internet cafes because the air in black Internet cafes is stuffy and the machine performance is poor.

Not far from the school is the Jincheng Internet Cafe on Aimin Road. This Internet cafe is also a favorite place for Zhang Kai, Jiang Wei and others.

Especially after the scores in the college entrance examination were released, several people let themselves go. They either went to the Internet cafe or were on the way to the Internet cafe every day. Zhang Kai even wore glasses because of excessive use of the Internet.

Chen Xiao also joked: "You are not myopic when you are studying, but you are myopic during the summer vacation. You are really myopia."

Zhang Kai said boldly: "Is this how all the illnesses I accumulated during my three years of study and hard work broke out in one go?"

Well, if Zhang Kai's father hears this, he will definitely be very happy.

"This is an Internet cafe." Shen Wei looked at the game users clicking on their keyboards, and then at the dazzling screens, a little curious and a little nervous.

Chen Xiao opened two computers and briefly introduced some desktop games and gameplay.

Shen Wei was obviously not interested in games. She opened the webpage and searched for things to note for college freshmen, looking at them one by one.

For example, the first rule is to be wary of enthusiastic seniors, because seniors not only want to help you but also want to flirt with you.

Shen Wei: "Ahem..."

Afterwards, Shen Wei opened QQ to chat with her classmates.

When he opened the web page, the navigation URL of 11181 popped up directly. This was Chen Xiao's product and he was very satisfied.

Baidu had already taken shape in the middle of 2000, and it was developing rapidly. In a year at most, it would be able to establish its position as the dominant search engine.

No, Shen Wei has already started using Baidu.

Chen Xiao thought that it would take some time for him to catch up with Baidu's development speed. After all, Li Yanhong's starting point was much higher than his own.

Chen Xiao is ready to play a game of legend.

At this time, he saw something strange.

90% of people in Internet cafes are playing Legend, and about 60% of them are secretly using plug-ins, and some are using paid plug-ins.

But Chen Xiao saw something wrong.

For example, the buddy next to Chen Xiao is also using plug-ins, but the interface is completely different from the one developed by Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao stood up and looked at the plug-ins used by several people. They were also different from the ones he developed.

What's happening here?

Chen Xiao opened the hidden folder in the computer (a secret passage used by Internet cafes to hide plug-ins and unhealthy websites) and found that the name of the plug-in was not the one he developed.

This plug-in is called "Peerless Legend", and the external name developed by Chen Xiao is "Shuiyue Legend Assistant"

After opening it, the interface is very similar, but it was not developed by myself.

Something is wrong!

Chen Xiao stood up and took a walk around the Internet cafe.

It was found that almost everyone is using "Peerless Legend".

Chen Xiao walked to the front desk and said to the network administrator: "Is there any legendary plug-in?"

Network administrator: "Yes! 30 yuan and 4,500 minutes. You pay here and I will open an account and password for you. You can just bind it. New users will also get 500 minutes."

Chen Xiao said: "I have an account, Shuiyue Legend Assistant."

The network administrator waved his hand and said: "We are no longer working on Legend of Water Moon. We are now working on Legend of Peerless Legend. Peerless Legend is even more useful than Legend of Water Moon!"

Chen Xiao took out thirty yuan and said, "Okay, let me give it a try."

Recharge, bind, and log in to your account.

Chen Xiao tried a new plug-in and found that all the settings of this plug-in were basically the same as what he had done. It could even be said to be 100% the same.

Chen Xiao could predict that the plug-in market would be very chaotic and the competition would be very fierce, so he cooperated with Zhou Quan to occupy the market both online and offline and promote 11181 as soon as possible.

I didn't expect competitors to come so quickly.

The situation is not quite right. Since the functions are exactly the same and the charges are the same, why did the Internet cafe choose Shuiyue Legend Assistant instead of Peerless Legend Assistant?

Isn't Zhou Quan responsible for the installation and maintenance of this computer? He can't even handle this matter.

Chen Xiao sat down calmly, and after surfing the Internet with Shen Wei for an hour, he and Shen Wei ate ice powder and toothpicks, and sent Shen Wei back. The two made an appointment to go skating with Zhang Kai and the others in three days.

After Shen Wei left, Chen Xiao took a taxi and visited more than ten famous Internet cafes in Jiangcheng, and found that all the Internet cafes were using Peerless Legend.

During this time, Chen Xiao was busy making MP3 drawings and discussing with Zhou Linghua how to upgrade the VCD production line. It had been many days since he had looked at the backstage of 11181 and the legendary plug-in.

Sure enough, the number of clicks on 11181 has barely increased, while the number of downloads and paid plug-ins has plummeted.

This is a problem.

Chen Xiaodan decided to call Zhou Quan.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Quan: "Hey, Brother Chen! I also said that I would invite you to Jiangzhou for hot pot when you are free, and I was just about to call you!"

Chen Xiao said: "Mr. Zhou, I have seen recently that many Internet cafes do not use our plug-ins. Is there something wrong with the promotion here, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Quan was very embarrassed and said: "I was just going to tell you about this. The cheat market is so chaotic. Some Internet cafes promise well on the surface, but I don't know if they promise others behind their backs. Brother Chen

, do you think your plug-in fee is too high? Otherwise, please lower the fee here and let’s try again?”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'll think about it."

Chen Xiao is not a fool. After listening to Zhou Quan's words, he can basically tell why. If you say that Zhou Quan has nothing to do with the new plug-in, even if you kill Chen Xiao, you won't believe it.

In this era, Internet cafe local promotion is very important, because 80% of young people who play games do not know how to use the web, and many people recharge their cards by letting the Internet cafe owner do it for them.

However, Chen Xiao had already prepared for this outcome.

The first thing was to directly block the administrator rights granted to Zhou Quan.

The second thing is to directly open the previously paid functions of the plug-in. Users can use the previously paid functions for free, such as automatically completing tasks, etc.

In addition, Chen Xiao also re-wrote a patch to add new payment functions. If the user chooses the payment mode, functions such as automatic commodity trading, idling and teaming up for dungeons, etc. will be added, and the explosive equipment points of the best equipment can be found more accurately.

These two measures will increase the degree of stickiness of old users.

The third measure is the last resort.

Chen Xiao is ready to directly cut off Zhou Quan's business.

Chen Xiao used the already lit "C Language Proficiency" technology tree to write an Internet cafe management system.

This management system has three advantages.

One is to be able to accurately control the online time and automatically log off when the time is up.

The second is restart recovery. In addition to setting the contents of the directory (installed games, etc.), the computer automatically restores the initial interface after restarting to avoid virus harassment.

The third one is one-click fool-proof image installation, which greatly facilitates network management and reduces workload.

Chen Xiao checked the system, [Cumulative influence 434.]

With the news media's coverage of the top pick and users' use of 11181 and plug-ins during this period, the cumulative influence has reached 434.

Chen Xiao is certain that this time the Internet cafe management system comes out, he should be able to light up a new technology tree.

At this time, Zhou Quan was very happy after hanging up the phone. He felt that he had made the right choice.
